No, but the child can make their wishes known to the court (procedure depends on where the child lives) and custody may be modified based on the same if the child provides a valid and compelling reason why such a modification should be granted.

With good cause (allowable reasons vary from state to state), a visitation order may be modified in the court with jurisdiction and/or if both parents agree. If the other parent is in disagreement, your only option is to do this through the courts and even if the other parent agrees, you should still have your existing order legally modified for your own protection.

You need to contact an attorney specializing in family law in your state for specific information.
